Looks fantastic, but it is almost £300

Looks good but you would have to really trust the person wheeling you. The bumping up the kerb looked rather painful. doing it the conventional way is far more stable

why so much money for it though?

i sound rather negative about it I know but showing that on a seemingly able bodied person is a far cry from someone elderly, frail or in serious pain.

These in my experience would not be suitable for many who are confined to a wheelchair through illness, the motion of being tipped up most of the time can be very uncomfortable/stressful for people with certain illnesses, pushing up hill would be the only advantage, having said that you can on many wheelchairs change the height of the handles for same effect.

As someone who had to use a wheelchair, I would hate to be tipped like that. It would make me feel sea sick.

That is the daftest thing I have seen, too much scope for accidents ... way too uncomfotatble for the  person being pushed, Very disconcerting for the person in the wheelchair.
